Dissident Iranian TV Channel Forced To Quit UK, After Police Warn They Cannot Protect Staff From Assassins

A UK-based Iranian TV channel has had to stop broadcasting from its headquarters in London, after British police warned staff that it could not protect them on UK soil. 

Iran International has been advised to relocate from London to Washington DC by UK counterterrorism specialists, following a string of foiled plots to target the channel’s journalists. 

These include an incident last weekend reported by the Times in which an Austrian national flew into the UK and was allegedly caught filming outside the channel’s premises in west London, where around 100 staff work. 

Mahmood Enayat, the channel’s general manager, said in a statement: “I cannot believe it has come to this. A foreign state has caused such a significant threat to the British public on British soil that we have to move.

“Let’s be clear, this is not just a threat to our TV station, but [to] the British public at large. This is an assault on the values of sovereignty and free speech that the UK has always held dear.”

OTOH, the breeding of mini-pigs is no doubt tied up with problems, and I'm not at all sure a pig should be living without the company of other pigs.

OTOH, PUB PIG!!! Why don't any pubs near me have one? They don't even have a single pub hamster between them.

"The fourth pig built a house from the skulls of wolves. The house wasn't as strong as the house of bricks, but it sent a powerful message." 

Ah for a house made of the skulls of Tory MPs who recommend buying houses with savings made from switching avocados for turnips.
